The musical atmosphere during the Chavadi procession was vibrant and full of devotion. According to Chapter 37, a wide array of instruments played as soon as Sai started to go. These included horns and trumpets of various shapes, 'Tas' and 'Jhanj' percussion, cymbals, mridanga, and veena. The air was also filled with the sound of fireworks, the shouts of heralds, cries of victory from the devotees, and the unified chanting of Sai's name. This symphony of sounds created a powerful and joyous gathering of blissful celebration.
